RE: [css-regions] margin of first paragrah of a region

I'm not sure it can be done at this very moment.
But the way I would see it done, would be via some next-level fragmentation-specific pseudo-class. Something like (using the older @region syntax that is likely to re-become the current one):

@region .region {
  p:first-fragment /* or p:first-visual-child */ {
    margin-top: 0;
  }
}

Makes sense?

Sylvain just notified me my mail client had the "brillant idea" of transforming my paragraphs into line-breaks...

Each time you sea a <BR>, the original source code contained a paragraph...
